4570 Spiritual cooperation....

February 21, 1949: Book 53

In a spiritual relationship cooperation is necessary, one is dependent on the help of the other, because spiritual work will rarely find support from the worldly side and therefore spreading it is more laborious and requires the support of those who are of the same spirit. And now the will of the individual is decisive as to how far he is an efficient labourer for Me in My vineyard. The work for Me and My kingdom must be done entirely of free will, no-one may be under compulsion to have to do something against his will, yet the richest blessing will be received by the one who is driven by his heart, who is active for Me out of love for Me, for he himself will increase his spiritual wealth, he will take pleasure in the treasures he works with and it will urge him to also make the wealth accessible to others. Therefore he will constantly want to cultivate spiritual exchange and already need people for this who have the same striving, and the union of these on a spiritual basis is assured. If a spiritually striving person were unable to communicate his field of work would be limited and let him tire, yet people who strive towards Me are found everywhere and seek spiritual fellowship in order to be able to exchange My word, depending on their activity. One shall be the support of the other.... and I assign to everyone the work he can do if only he wants, yet I don't force his will, because love for Me shall determine him to be active for Me. If he carries this love within himself then he need not be stimulated from outside, then he will push himself to work for Me and My kingdom, and he will receive the richest blessings and be diligently active for Me....

Amen
